I recently purchased a DVD titled, "Your Guide to Creating Underwater Video," by Annie Crawley. It is pretty much a hand-holding session for the beginner, so...

Thanks for the review, John. I've always been curious if there was anything of value in the underwater video DVDs out there. Are there other instructional DVDs...
Hello to all - FYI here is an email I sent to Ikelite after buying their housing for the Sony HC7 (HDV). I still have not had a response, and sent the housing...
Hi Rob, For what it's worth, I've had two custom Ike housings through the years and have found them to be quite indestructable and easy to learn to use. I ...
In a nutshell: auto-focus and low-light performance. I have a Sony HVR-A1U HDV camcorder, and when everything works just right the images are spectacular. But...
I've always been interested in how housings work that use buttons to press LCD menu items for white balance. It sounds like the answer is "not well" unless...
Mike, As I know that you have been shooting quite some time, I am surprised to hear that you shoot auto focus at all. Except for macro work, auto focus is and...

Hey Mike, Keep the hammer? Actually, it makes me feel a bit better that I'm not the only one irritated by the low light noise with the A1U when manually white...
... That's a very smart observation. Please let us know how it works out. I'll have to check my own settings. One other thing I've toyed with lately is...
... True in many circumstances, but I find there are times when manual focus isn't up to snuff, in particular when you're shooting moving objects that may move...
As I see it we have three options: 1). UR Pro (orange) filter 2). Manual White balance 3). Color correction in post (Final Cut for me). Obviously #1 cannot be...

Having hauled my system around for well over a year - Seacamsys housing, FX camera, lighting system, weighing some 23 kilos/50lbs when ready to dive - I am...
Very true, and actually exactly the system I used for the last year. Not that I really wanted, but I used an FX1 in a Seacamsys housing and in spite of...
Color correction all in post-production sounds in theory like a great solution: you just use your video editor to bump up the red, tone down the blue, and...
Mike, You did a great job of explaining it -- I like your floodlight metaphor -- that's a good one! The notion that a filter "cuts light from the sensor...
Mike, Thanks so much for your explanation. It's very helpful for a novice like me who's still trying to figure out the basics. When you say "add a blue-water...
Paul, Your questions are all good and there is no one who can't learn something new. You can switch out the current UR filter in you L & M for shooting heavily...
... The red (actually orange-looking) filter *is* the blue-water filter. It looks orange because that's the color you get when you subtract blue from light...
I'm glad John's promoting his show, whether it's shameless promotion or not (I vote not), because it's an excellent platform for some very nice underwater...
